| Empowering and falling of Umayyads attract attention of many researchers and historians. Military victory of Abbasids over Umayyads in battle of Zab (132) while they had less soldiers and military equipment as well as their techniques of confrontations need a comprehensive study. This article with its descriptive-analytic method and using the theories of war sociology focuses on the factors behind military defeat of Umayyads versus Abbasids in battle of Zab. The findings of this study show that a mixture of the factors and elements such as motivations and sustainability, resourcefulness, arrangement and correct war strategy, consultations and accompaniments of Khorasanid, the vengeance slogan of the Ahl al-Bayt as a winning lever in creating Marwan's legitimacy and escape from the battle scene, all had undeniable roles in the victory of Abbasids in the Battle of Zab. |
